WARNING
Do not plug in your hard floor cleaner until
you are familiar with all instructions and
operating procedures.
WARNING
Exercise extreme care when using your
steam mop on hardwood floors. Prolonged
application of steam in one area increases
the risk of damage to the surface treatment
on timber floors. Test steam mop in an
inconspicuous area before mopping a
large area. The steam mop generates hot
steam, so move the unit continuously when
depressing the trigger. The trigger does not
need to be depressed at all times.
Regular foot trac and direct sunlight will
wear down timber floor surface treatment,
making it more susceptible to steam
damage. Check with your timber floor
treatment and application specialist prior
to steam mop operation.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn
power switch o and disconnect polarized
plug from electrical outlet before performing
maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
